Version 1.6.3
-Added 0.1 second delay (full-screen acquisitions) to assure complete dismissal of the PupSnap GUI prior to capture. (thanks Jim1911)

Hi radky,

Thank you very much for 1.6.3 which works well with my Slacko 5.3.1 Main.

However, before I use it all of my Windows programs work using Wine, but after I use it some of my Windows programs no longer work until after a reboot.

If you would like to see if you can replicate this behaviour then one of the non-working programs is MalAware.exe which is only some 1.2 MB from http://download2.emsisoft.com/malaware/MalAware.exe and although it literally only takes a minute to run it is sufficient to see if it loads before and after taking a screenshot.

I did try to investigate, getting first a message re "permissions" and when fixed, another message re "binaries" which I don't know how to fix.

For me, this is not at all urgent; though I shall appreciate any advice or assistance you may be able to give as and when you have time.

My regards

Addendum:

The problem is now, almost certainly, resolved, but I have made an sfs of the v 1.8 pet so that I can easily unload the sfs should any Windows/Wine application still fail to run perfectly.

Hi again radky,

Thank you for taking time to reply. Your code "scrot screenshot.png" does put a full screenshot in root, but my difficulty in being unable to reuse some Windows programs persists.

I can do everything I need using other methods of taking screenshots; though sometimes with extra keystrokes/mouse-movements - so not always as conveniently as with your excellent program.

My regards

Version 1.8. See main post.
-Revised user interface with improved access to options.
-Added 'sticky' persistence to the date and border checkboxes (checked/unchecked status persists until changed by the user).
-The option for reduced-size images (thumbnails) no longer requires a checkbox to enable/disable.
-Added standard-pixel options for the automatic reduction (or enlargement) of captured images.
-PNG images are now saved automatically with high 'lossless' quality and maximum file compression.
-The configurable 'Quality' option of PupSnap now applies to JPG images only.
-Added support for the ristretto image viewer.
-Added support for the pcmanfm and pcmanfm2 file managers.
-Restored support for the Libreoffice Draw and OpenOffice Draw image editors.

Looks like an interesting utility to try. I decided to try the ctrl*shift*s hotkey (without having installed PupSnap yet) to see if it might conflict with anything. It seems as if that key combo causes Seamonkey 2.2 to navigate away from the currently displayed webpage and show the homepage instead.

I don't care if I lose that option by installing PupSnap, but thought I'd ask if that was normal, and does it indicate something I should change before installing PupSnap?

Hi radky,

PupSnap-1-8 doesn't work in Fatdog64-600a2, although you might hold off checking it until a3 comes out since there are already a lot of bug fixes on a2. It opens and sets up fine, however, nothing shows up when Save is pressed. The program closes. Of course it could be something as simple as an unrecognized default paint program. Default is Gimp 2.6, although Save still does nothing when gimp is selected in setup.

Hotkey calls the program fine.

The 32-bit version works great.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim

It may be possible that your download of the the 64-bit version of PupSnap is corrupt. So, a fresh download and new installation may be helpful.

Today I tested the 64-bit version of PupSnap in Fatdog64-600 alpha2 and I can't duplicate the problem you describe. Everything is working properly on my system, including full-screen, window and ROI captures in jpg, png, bmp and tiff formats. Also, there were no problems when capturing to defaultpaint, defaultimageviewer, gimp, mtpaint or fotoxx.

There is one thing to remember about full-screen captures in the png format. More time is required to apply maximum file compression to large png files, so you may notice a slight delay before a full-screen image auto-loads into the viewer or editor.

Thanks

Hi radky,

Finally got around to installing Fatdog64-600a2 on my laptop. PupSnap worked fine initially, however it's broken now. Some program that I installed overwrote a key file.

I believe that installing xfe with it's fox dependency is what broke PupSnap.

Cheers,
Jim

PupSnap-2.0
- New, intuitive interface with all capture options available on one tab.
- Added the option to send screenshots (or any local image) to the imgur.com image hosting service.

The image hosting module provides quick access to URLs for viewing or deleting the uploaded images,
changing the API access code to imgur.com, and viewing the activity log for all uploaded images.
Additionally, the image URLs are sent to the clipboard if xsel or xclip are available. (thank you stu91)

Flash, our moderator, has amended the maximum screenshot width (using the forum software) from 600 pixels to 800 pixels.

Using PupSnap - from the drop-down-list choose 800px to maximise allowed, but not enforced, screen width (the depth will be auto-scaled as needed).

Also with PupSnap - a user could load the 'Image Host' screen to set up and display a larger 'clickable/expandable' screenshot using non-forum software.

There are alternative means of achieving similar results. However, using PupSnap it is really simple to observe forum sizing etiquette.

This program works great, but today I seem to have difficulties uploading the images to the host 'imgur.com'.

The website itself works and I have uploaded to them via their site.

Is anyone else experiencing this too?

btw Using Lucid 5.28-005 with GTKDialog 0.8.2

Hi.

I have made the same experience on LazImUL because imgur.com has change the API version. The provided API key (by Alan@imgur.com) is not longer usable.

So, direct upload to imgur.com doesn't work anymore.
